NOT GOING TO START NOW

FISH TAIL CLOUDS YESTERDAY EVENING...

... STORM THIS MORNING

Friday, 10:00 AM.  13 degrees F at the ferry dock, 11 on the back porch.  Wind WSW, bringing with it a rather vigorous snow storm.  The sky has a low overcast and there is a lot of fog over the channel.  The rather heavy snowfall looks like it might accumulate.  The humidity is 85 % and the barometer is beginning to rise, now standing at 30.08".
   Yesterday late-afternoon one could see a front coming in from the SW, led by a large phalanx of fish-scale clouds.  The temperature is due to drop precipitously, with a very cold, below-zero Saturday and Sunday predicted.
   Saturday night is the annual library fund raiser, the "Book Across The Bay," a six-mile, candle-lit trek across the ice on skis or snowshoes from Ashland to Washburn.  I must admit I have never done it.
   Not going to start now.
